Is There A Heaven For A G?



Is there a place in heaven for me?

Is there a heaven for a G?

I’ve lived my life of sin I’m ready to be let in
I’ve left the hood
Im ready to do good

I ask you Father to remember me
I want to forget the memories

Find peace and release my sin
I tell you Father I’m ready to be let in

Open the gates, your son is here
I’m ready Ive released all my fear

To be home and I’m not alone
I see the light there’s no need to fight

I’m coming Father to honor you
Your humble son wants to be embraced by you

My Father loves me I’m not afraid
Thank you Father I’m here to stay

God is calling me home the only father I have ever known
He’s the only being that understands
Why I lived the life I lived
Living a life of sin

Living like it’s my last day on earth
Forgetting my self worth

Not loving myself
Not doing right by those who loved me the most

Fearing to die and become a ghost

My time has come as I enter the valley of death I beg you father my soul to accept

I come to You Father on bended knees asking for you to favor me

I want to see the pearly gates
Letting go of this life I hate

I pray the Lord my soul to take
I ask you Lord to relieve this ache

Heal me Father I hear you calling my name
Here I am my soul to take

I feel no pain I’m without an ache
I ask you Father my soul to take

Thank you father your son is back
Thanking you Father for this second chance.
